Pitt is playing like tournament team. I don't like them, I call them Dook Lite. But I can't even hate, they are a tournament team. Oh, and they didn't lose 5 Q3 games and their NET isn't in the 60's.

At some point people need to realize if you finish fourth in a power conference, you're probably capable of playing in the Big Dance.

I thought the ACC crowd didn't like teams that played soft non-conf schedules?

They went 2-2 against P6 teams. Not great, but not terrible.

Can't punish them too harshly for drunk 'n' a slurrin' Huggy Bear, right? He was supposed to have a contender.

They played the 5th worst non-conference slate among P6 teams according to KP and the 2nd worst according to ESPN. They only played 4 P6 teams, 3 of whom finished in last place in their respective leagues. Not great would be an understatement. So would terrible.

Saying now Lunardi has A&M in last 4 byes after beating UK.

Oregon upsets Arizona 67-59 in Las Vegas, in the final basketball game on the Pac-12 Network. It will be Oregon vs the winner of the Washington State-Colorado game in the Pac-12 championship game.

Oregon beats Arizona to set up a real bid theif situation tomorrow night. Also, if Colorado beats Washington St tonight, would set up where that's going to eliminate a team from the main bracket sending to Dayton.

Lunardi now has Indiana State among his First Four Out.

Yeah but is it their fault those teams ended up sucking?

I don't care about metrics, that's a tournament team. They finished 4th in a conference, ahead of other teams getting in. Yet, aTm gets a pass despite losing 5 Q3 games on a weak ass schedule. Make sense of that please.

Texas A&M has the #23 SOS in the country, and #21 OOC. Some weak ass schedule. Meanwhile Pittsburgh is at 83 and 344. Now 344 is weak ass for sure.

Stever, aTm lost FIVE Q3 games. I don't care how many good teams they lost to, they lost to a bunch of stink buckets!

Gotta have Cream Abdul-Jabbar in the tournament. Or is it Larry Nerd?

I know the Valley isn't what it once was, but 28 wins isn't chopped liver. I guess that Q4(?) loss to Illinois State hurt them.

At least send them to Dayton.

and Pittsburgh scheduled Cupcake State OOC and they're going to get ****** by it. 10 of their 11 OOC games were Q3 or Q4. That sucks. The committee often times makes statements with garbage **** like that.

Stever, they won their games. They went 12-8 in a Power conference. Their NET is ~40.

Your boys at Seton Hall are in the 60’s. You LOVE the NET. You LOVE it! Who cares if you lose to good teams, Stever. You need to win games. I’m surprised your boy Lunardi doesn’t have St. Joe’s in lol

They scheduled like **** OOC. And the ACC is garbage this year. All it spells is NIT.

And you say 12-8 in a power conference. Well Seton Hall went 13-7 in a power conference. So therefore they must be better according to your ******* "logic".

Colorado beats Washington St. Think they are totally safe now.

Bubble teams now go from rooting against them to rooting for them tomorrow vs Oregon.

Colorado hangs on to beat Washington State 58-52 and reach the Pac-12 championship game against Oregon. It was their 8th consecutive win.
